Teaching Materials
Positives
- The activity page provides several lessons and resources that can help students learn what an action plan is and how to make one.
Additional Prerequisites
- They also give several suggestions for tech tools that can be used in the action planning process.
- If you are going to use one, take the time to learn how to use it yourself so you can support students as they learn it.
Differentiation
- This step in the problem-solving process is an opportunity to let students focus on a particular area of interest (action planning, budgeting, fundraising, etc.), so consider how you might help students delegate those different responsibilities.
- As with other EarthForce steps, showing the video is a good way to introduce this part of the process to students.
- If doing the full process, be sure to have students continue to gather their work in a project portfolio for use in the final reflection in the last step.
